What are the symptoms of a faulty brake caliper?
1 Answers
Here are the specific details about a damaged car brake caliper: 1. Soft Brake: When applying the brake, if you feel that the braking sensation is noticeably soft and the stability decreases with continuous braking, it could be due to poor sealing of the master cylinder or caliper piston, or a rupture somewhere in the brake line causing oil leakage. 2. Sudden Brake Failure: If you experience a momentary loss of braking while driving, check if there is a shortage of brake fluid and then inspect the master cylinder, caliper, and oil lines for any traces of brake fluid. 3. Brake Pulling: This may be caused by rust on the brake caliper, piston expansion, or uneven brake wear. 4. Brake Pedal Not Returning or Slow to Return: If the brake pedal does not rise or offer resistance after being pressed, inspect the master cylinder and caliper components for damage.
